At my company todays staff engs do what yesterdays senior engs did. It’s a game managers play to retain good talent and give them better salaries. On one team I know of almost half the team are now Staff.
Things change when you get closer to Principal (two levels higher) but at the staff level, despite what might be on paper, they’re just senior engs that negotiate well
(I’m speaking as someone on that track, so am as guilty as the next)
